Kitchen Makeover!

The major parts of the kitchen project are all done! Of course, there are still things left to do: hem the curtains, artwork, change out microwave, touch up painting, fix holes in the ceiling, and probably some more I’ve forgotten right now. But those things are easy and we shall get to them soon enough.

To review, the major goals for the kitchen ( as first discussed in this post) were:

I have a bunch of pictures for you to compare the before with the after. For the unabridged version of the bulk of the process you can look here,here, and here.

Here we go!

Additional shots and angles: I moved the bar cart from the dining room into the kitchen (and I still plan on painting the door and painted the door).

And put a few things on the shelves (seems to change frequently).

I recently found pictures of the kitchen floor before we had it refinished and you can see a tiny glimpse of the cabinets and trim (and original oven) the way they were when we first moved in. It’s come a long way.It’s life changing (for real, no cliche) for my vision to come to fruition. I have some DIY ideas for art that I hope to get to soon (see that update here). Have you guys finished up any major projects? I’d love to see.

wow! that is an amazing transformation! I love what you did. We had the same (before) tile as you. Ours was more on a budget, so we are living with it for now. I don’t mind though
your little bar cart is so cute and I love that mirror. I can’t believe the before dining room walls? Was it painted like that or did it get scraped?? I love the gray and contemporary look you changed it to.
Everything looks awesome!

yowza! that looks amazing, especially b/c the before was…interesting. i looove the granite and the backsplash, and you’ve given me a great idea about the over the sink area. i’m having major kitchen renovation envy right now!

This looks stunning – I’m very jealous of your kitchen. To see the transformation from before is amazing! Love your pretty mosaic backsplash too. Popping over from the My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia blog hop

I ADORE your new kitchen. I might steal it. So if you happen to walk into your home one day and you just stare at a huge gaping hole of nothing; you’ll know that i’ve skipped away with your kitchen back to my house. =)
In all seriousness, yall have done a fantastic job at everything. I’m still trying to muster up the courage for my kitchen remodel. Ugh, just the thought of it makes me nauseous.
This is definitely inspirational!

So…We moved in our new old home about 1 1/2 years ago. I have been just so frustrated with the kitchen but so unsure what i wanted to do with it until i saw your page Saturday night! Our kitchen is laid out almost just like yours and it gave me a plan for our kitchen! So much of a plan that we started ripping out cabinets last night! We had the upper cabinets that blocked off the kitchen from our family room! They came down last night! We are Soooo excited! Thanks for the inspiration!
